Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, imaging systems designed for uncooperative subjects located a non-trivial distance away (e.g., on the order of tens of centimeters to upwards of a few meters) are generally more complicated, and must address focus and ambient light issues.

Embodiment Construction

1. System Overview

[0018]1.1. General Overview

[0019]A dual purpose iris and color camera system is described provides good iris and color image capture in either IR or visible bands depending upon which type of image is being captured at that moment. For iris imaging the iris camera is capable of imaging in the 700 to 900 nm wavelength range where the iris structure becomes visible. The iris camera is able to perform iris imaging outside with full sunlight. The iris camera requires only a low level of cooperation from the user, in that they must be within a range of distances away from the iris camera, must hold relatively still for a short period of time, and must face towards the camera. The iris capture process is fully automated once activated.

[0020]1.2. Imaging System

[0021]FIG. 2 illustrates an imaging system 120 for capturing iris images, according to one embodiment. The system is configured to capture at least a pair of images of a subject's 100 eyes 104 including a background...

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 946,340, filed Feb. 28, 2014, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. This application also claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 973,116, filed Mar. 31, 2014, which is also incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]Iris imaging systems capture images of the human iris for a variety of purposes, examples of which include biometric (human subject) identification as well medical imaging. As a significant proportion of the human population has brown eyes, iris imaging systems generally must be able to image irises for subjects with brown eyes. Melanin pigment in brown eyes becomes transparent at 850 nm, which is just outside the visible range in the near-infrared (IR) spectrum. Consequently, iris imaging systems generally function by imaging light at and around these near IR wavelengths.[0003]Beyond this an...
